At the beginning of the game it was evident that the Rovers were doing better work though it took them a good while to score. The ball travelled from one end of the field to the other several times before any scoring was done. The Olympics generally forced it down by means of one or two players, who, when they got down near their opponents' goal were quite unable to make a good try for goal. The Rovers when they returned the ball seemed to use nearly all their men. After about 15 minutes play the Rovers scored a goal very prettily. A second goal was scored by Mercer in a few more minutes, after which the Olympics took a considerable brace and by some very fine individual work scored a goal. The half ended with the score 2 to 1 in favor of the Rovers.

In the second half the Rovers had it all their own way and scored two more goals. Kennedy and Bell each kicked a goal and toward the end of the game the Olympics seemed to lose some of their snap. The game ended about 4 o'clock with the score 4 to 1.

Throughout the game was very lively and the players went at their work with a great deal of dash, and had the teams been backed up by crowds of enthusiastic followers the game would have been by no means without excitement.
